Arabella Proffer, an artist with a profound narrative in her work, intertwines the complexities of biology, anatomy, and the macro universe. Her journey into surreal organic environments began unexpectedly in 2010, leading to creations filled with bizarre hybrids of flowers, cells, and symbols, reminiscent of organisms from another realm. This shift in her artistry coincided with a personal battle against cancer, which mirrored the tentacle-like forms she painted.
Proffer’s work, deeply rooted in her experiences and the subconscious exploration of emerging sciences, reflects a unique blend of personal metaphysical occurrences and art history. Her pieces often contain subtle nods to baroque landscapes or decadent still lives, viewed through a distorted lens, offering a modern take on the surreal still-life genre.
